It combines a compression-style tube end with a 1\/8-27 NPTF male threaded end, creating a reliable, leak-resistant transition between tube and pipe thread. Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for service from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting handles a wide range of fluid and gas line applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration service professionals install this type of fitting on instrumentation lines, control tubing, and small-bore process piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tubing must change direction and transition to a threaded port. Common install scenarios include connecting small-bore copper or nylon tubing to NPT-tapped valve bodies, manifolds, or instrument ports. The compression end accepts 3\/8-inch OD tube without soldering or flaring, making it well-suited for retrofit and service work in tight spaces where torch work is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and compatible gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression x MNPT end connections eliminate the need for soldering or flaring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-27 NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e200 psi maximum working pressure suits most low- and medium-pressure control line applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F covers most HVAC and plumbing service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e90-degree male elbow geometry allows direction change at the port connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3\/8-inch OD tubing terminated at a 1\/8-27 NPTF male threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician should install compression fittings in pressure-bearing systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube, then advance with a wrench per standard compression fitting practice — do not overtighten, as brass compression fittings are designed to seal at moderate torque. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF male threads in accordance with local plumbing codes and the fitting manufacturer's guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8-27\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169C-6-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543135158578,"sku":"169C-6-2","price":16.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c1816cae8cee570fd1545cf6289cf07.jpg?v=1785916254","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-169c-6-2-compression-male-elbow-3-8-in-brass","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
